Vertigo Causes and Diagnosis

Traveler's Diarrhea

medical illustration of Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) may be caused by tiny otolyth crystals which break free and float inside the inner ear's semicircular canals, causing dizziness. A doctor may conduct the Dix-Hallpike maneuver to diagnose or rule out this condition. Uncontrollable eye movement, called nystagmus, is another indicator. Radiology may also be warranted to rule out other causes of vertigo.
